AAC

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound.

CD-DA

This stands for a general music CD (commer- cial-release audio CD). In this manual, this word is sometime used for a distinction be- tween data CDs (which include compressed audio files) and general music CDs.

The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted by the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.
